Wish to see myself through these - Eyes

" In the night when I lie on a gathered hay,

Under the starry layer of the endless worlds,

I trace your eyes in the maze of stars,

Like a pattern laid out by two beautiful pearls "

Eyes have been one of the most captivating subjects for many of us. They are so expressive sometime. Eyes can express all sorts of emotions... happiness, sadness, anxiety, love, anger.

But whenever I see a pair of eyes looking attentively at something, I get curious to know what has got their attention. I always get curious to know and feel what those eyes must be perceiving at that moment. I wonder if somehow I could see the world through those eyes and share the feeling.

Shot this picture of a Cape Eagle Owl at Bannerghatta National Park, Bangalore. 
When i saw this owl in the cage, it was lying on the ground and was too lazy to even look at me. I had to make some irritating noise to get its attention and i think i did get it... all of it.

Might of the king in the making. Shot this picture of a Lion cub in the Bannerghatta National Park, Bangalore. On a morning safari, I found these Lion cubs blocking our safari van to move ahead.

The posture of the cub and the way it was ruling the scene that morning with its might, roar and looks was an amazing experience.
